They break down how women’s hoops evolved from its roots in the 1890s to today’s media-fueled boom. We talk about the groundbreaking 1996 Olympic team, Title IX’s long shadow, Caitlin Clark’s impact, the rise of leagues like Unrivaled, and the WNBA's expansion and investment future.
Pamela and Susan also reveal what it took to write the definitive book on women’s basketball—through archival research, oral histories, and decades of lived experience.
Whether you’re a WNBA fan, sports historian, or just love basketball culture, this is a masterclass in how the women’s game became a global movement.
